About This Book
I am a hero worshiper; an insatiable devourer of biographies; and I say that no man in all the splendid list ever equaled Edmund Stonewall. You smile because you have never heard his name for until now his biography has not been written. And this is not truly a biography; it is only the story of the crowning event in Stonewall's career.
